unbearable cold...

was zero here yesterday morning when I woke up, and the temp climbed to a whole 10 yesterday.
Warmed up some today, and is snowing like mad tonight. I took me an hour and 15 minutes to get home from work, and its only 8 miles distance!
I hate winter!!!
 
I'm dreaming of a white...

Just took this out my front door. My car is pretty well covered, and its still coming down.
 
Where is Southboro in your state?

Southboro is a bedroom community approx 20 miles west of Boston. The Mass Turnpike goes right thru Southboro. The Berkshires are about 2 hrs further west. I guess that might make us neighbors BUT...it might be a bit of a walk to borrow a cup of sugar :-)

The Berkshires are beautiful!!!
 
Jeff said "I hate winter".

that's exactly why I've NEVER wanted to move up north. Yes Robert flourishes in the winter and others here do to. But no thank you. I've been miserable today knowing it only got to 33 for a short time. It's 26 now. ugh.
 
Our Dallas office was closed yesterday afteroon and all day today due to some snow or ice or some such thing. Nothing anyone would have noticed in Minnesota, but apparently a big deal to them.

I'm going there tomorrow through Sunday for our holiday party. It's supposed to be cold but as long as it's not ice and snow we'll survive, being we'll be inside most of the time, not to mention staying in a 5 star hotel.

I had always thought Texas' winters were more like California, but I have learned these last few months that I was wrong. It got down to 44 degrees one morning even when I was there in early November. I didn't bring a jacket and it kind of sucked. I was stressing before the trip because I thought it was going to be HOT. Ha! The daytimes were beautiful though.
 
Scott some parts, from central to north particulary, get plenty of winter!

On occasion it dips down to the Gulf Coast.

Last Christmas Eve we had several inches of SNOW, which is an *extremely* rare thing, not so much the snow which may happen every few years, but white Christmases are far and between.

I remember about 15 years ago, there were a couple days of continuous below-freezing temps, which caused some plumbing damage.
 
Dallas can be particularly cold during winter...I experienced it! This morning's weather felt like Dallas, IMHO...maybe not as chilly.

I wish the winters here were like California!! That's one of many reasons why I want to move there in the future...
 
Come on Bing, I love the snow during Christmas before workin

Now I don't like snow during Christmas!!!
While everyone is popping boxes open, I have to pop manhole covers with my plow. :-((

Don't worry, I wear a green uniform and that makes me different from the rest of the world. Little Green uniform men in a bright orange truck bringing happiness to those who returning gifts to the stores the next day and I don't even get a wave but having the pleasure of being number one and you stuck behind me!

Oh what joy it is to ride........
*Smile*
 
We've had snow on the ground here for 9 days, and hopefull we can keep continuous snow cover through the end of February like normal. The past four winters have been real wimpy here in the northland, below normal snowfall and well above normal temperatures, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this year will be at least normal, shhhhhhhhhh I don't want to jinx it!

Last year Jetcone Jon stole all of our snow and sent it to New England, I told him if he does that again, he can expect a big huge slap.
 
Austin goes to California

Said: I wish the winters here were like California!! That's one of many reasons why I want to move there in the future..

I say: I'd love to go to a place that has four seasons just as home does.
But I'm not 100% sure that, fires, floods/ mudslides, earthquakes and riots is what I'm really looking for, personally ... LOL.

But I won't knock it till I have tried it.

I found it QUITE interesting that southern areas get more plumbing damage in a cold-snap than northern areas. "Building techniques" get blamed.

In FL I was amazed to see the water service above ground. Then I cam back to Long Island and found the same thing! It is kept in a "hot-box." (see link) An electrically heated enclosure. Downside? Blackout during a cold-snap is perhaps gonna cause frozen pipes.

I have seen how things are done in FL & AZ.
Now to get TX, and GA under my belt...

Toggle's coming to visit one day soon. BEWARE!

Just so you know.....

Toggle:

What little "jingle boobs, er bobs" I had were frozen off last Thursday! The good news is ......it's 72 degrees today! Go figure!

Of course, we will be sure to have the next Texas mini at a more temperate time; October, perhaps. You will be there, won't you dahling? ;-)
